RAMALLAH, Israeli forces Friday overnight detained seven Palestinians and wounded two others in various parts of the West Bank, according to local and security sources.

They said that Israeli forces showed up at a house in Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, muscled inside, conducted a thorough search and eventually rounded up a 17-year-old teen.

The soldiers opened live fire at a vehicle in the refugee camp, wounding two passengers; one in the shoulder and the other in the foot.

The casualties were rushed to a hospital for treatment.
